Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup


Prep Time 25 minutes

Serves 6 

Using a rotisserie chicken for this hearty chicken soup speeds up the process for a quick and easy soup on a cool fall night. Make it in large batches and freeze it for an even quicker dinner later and save the chicken bones to make your own stock when you have time. 

Supplement rice, buckwheat or quinoa for a gluten free variety.
